To all whom it may conoem Be it known that I, JAMES L. I-IEIMRICH, acitizen of t-he United States, residing` at Tiffin, in the county ofSeneca and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements vin Template Tools, of which the following is aspecification.y j

rIhis invention relates to an adjustable" tool for use as a template.

The primary object Vof the-invention isA the provision of a Vtemplatetool including adjustable marking blades for cooperative action indesignating working, operations to be performed on plates, boards andthey a template is ordinarilyl like, wherever used. ,l t

AA further object of the invention 1s the provision of a template toolof the vabove described character, in which the blades are 4so adjustedas `to provide templates functioning withina wide range of adjustment.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of thefollowing detailed description. 1

consistent with the class of `work for which the terplate is desired.The blades B are provid with the bevelled longitudinal `B in dove tailmanner wherein for the purpose ofillustration is shown aA preferredembodifV ment of this invention, the letter A desigL `edges 10. Eachblade `B, is provided adjacent one` end 11 with a plurality of equifspaced perforations 12, arrangedcentrally of the blade width, andvextending for substantially'one-half .of the length thereof. Graduations14are provided upon both upallel graduations 14 extend the blades B fromthe end 15 to the end 11. The extremeend 15 is likewise provided with anaperture 17,*extending through the thickness thereof, the center ofwhich designates the last` graduation mark 14 upon the end 15 of saidblade B; said aperture 17 being positioned a `predetermined distancewith respect to the eX- treme aperture 12 upon lthe end 11.

The supporting or guide frame G is preferably polygonal in formation.The outer surfaces 20 and 21 Vof the frame C are .provided with guideways 23 ,and 24, respectively cu't downwardly' therein," the entirewidth of the frameC; said guideways23 and 24` being arranged'with theirlongitudinal axes at exactly 90 to eachother. inside edges of the guideways `23y and 24 are undercut, in order that said guide ways 23 and 24mayy receive the template blade for` slidingin said frame The guideways23 and. 24, in depth `extend for substantially 4one halfthe thickness of.the material `of, frame C, 'and since the same intersect, an aperturein said frame C is provided. Graduation :marks 26 inl alignment withveach other are provided at right angles to the guide Way 23 therein and'upon the top surface 20, which are adapted for alignment with respectto the graduation marks 14upon the blade B which slidesin the grooveway23, to determine the position ofsaid blade B with respect :to the frameC. Likewise, the opposite surface 21 of the frame C `S Provided withVindicating 'graduations 28 in alignentire length of the ment and at`rightangles to the guide Way 24 in said side 21, whereby saidgraduations 28 4may be aligned with 'the graduations 14 uponv Vthetemplate blade B ada ted fory `sliding 'inf the guide wayl`24, toetermine the position` of "K apertures with respect to said frame C.When a graduation 14 of the blade B is arranged in alignment with thegraduation 26 upon the surface 20; and
